Lonesome Dove

I seen bits and pieces of this movie at a friends house and decided to by it. One of the best westerns I have seen, and surely in my top 5.

If you have seen "Lonesome Dove" you know it is the, or one of the, best westerns ever. The improved widescreen version now out is a must. I was pleased with everything about it.

This is one of the best movies I've seen. It is definitely a good purchase to watch over through the years. (It's a keeper!)

Quite simply, Lonesome Dove (1989) is one of the best westerns of all time. Even the minor characters are multi-dimensional and fully developed. All of the acting is top notch. The direction is superb.

But, this story is really about the relationship of two men: Captain Woodward Call (Tommy Lee Jones) and Captain Augustus McRae (Robert Duvall), retired Texas Rangers. Call, the stoic, is the polar opposite of McRae, a fun-loving "philosopher." Their poignant farewell is one of the most touching you will ever see on film. (Duvall said this was his favorite role.)

I rank this film right up there with The Searchers (1956) starring John Wayne.

One of the greatest movie series ever made. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are master of their trade.
